Between Pain and Grace by Gerald Peterman and Andrew Schmutzer

★★★★★ The publisher provided a copy for review
Our daughter suffers pain every day. She's in her mid-30s, but the pain started in her teens and has not let up. I've cried out to God for relief. Begged. Pleaded. Attempted to block the suffering.

This text balances God's absolute power and ability to intervene with the human story, our privilege to live in God's presence as his representatives. As we move through wonderful and terrible days, his love and grace surrounds and sustains.

A worthwhile read - and good questions at the end of chapters for discussion and support groups. Recommended.
